Today was a relaxing day. I started later and did not ride as far. As I was riding around the back roads I came across a store that was pretty much in the middle of nowhere that was a German import store. I really thought that was odd, because I didn't think there would be a large demand for lederhosen or drindle in central Texas. I later found out that there is a strong German background in the area and that the store was not out of place. Still, I didn't see any Texans wearing a cowboy hat and lederhosen. Since I was in the area, I thought I should go see Luckenbach, Texas. All I can really say, is that I can now say I've been there. There is not much to see, but I guess it is still a hopping place in the evenings. I was surprised to see just how small the dance hall is. From there I headed to New Braunfels to see an old college roommate and his wife for lunch. Always good to catch up with people you haven't seen in a while. I'm still trying to figure out when he got so old. Start heading for home tomorrow.

When we were in San Antonio this past October we visited New Braunfels/Gruene. Quaint old historic town with a great restaurant on the river called the Gristmill. The town is extremely small but worth the afternoon away from the Skeet Field.
